it shoots the one tire fire when i slinging the *** end to the drivers side so the diver side tire basically just sits there and the passenger side just spins like crazy

You realize that LSDs have clutches that wear out right? Just because it spins one wheel nowadays doesn't mean the entire rear axle is shot. Read through this thread...

You will have more luck going the other way your passenger side tire receives the power and the LSD is suppose to make the other one spin the same but after awhile it wears out, mine is the same way if I power brake I can get both spinning but if I just take off only one will spin

You can get replacement clutches for about $65, but you need some other specialty tools to do the job of replacing them. The thread I posted the link for explains in great detail how to replace them.

mine is being rebuilt right now....$300 in parts but more than just the clutches were bad...fyi my mechanic was told by the dealership there is two different models in the 2nd gens (after he returned the wrong one)...mine was the earlier one and is twice as much to rebuild....later ones were 170 bucks for parts apparently...
